Review of The Railway Man (2013) by Chantal V — 22 Aug 2014

What an impressive, flawlessly acted, atmospherically filmed and (that hits you when you see the real photos at the end of it) unbelievably well casted movie this is. I'm surprised at the relatively reserved reviews and I've read a few, and it feels almost like the reviewers haven't seen the actual film or don't realize it's a factual story.

So I don't understand the reviews that find the plot "improbable" - it's fact, not fiction. Horrible and beautiful fact at the same time, respectfully put on the screen. Moving.
